About
Dr. Hei Kit Chan is a leading figure in urological surgery, with a focused expertise in the objective assessment of surgical skill, particularly within robot-assisted procedures. His most impactful work centers on the development and validation of rigorous, procedure-specific evaluation tools to enhance surgical training and patient safety. Chan’s landmark contribution is the creation of the Prostatectomy Assessment and Competency Evaluation (PACE), an objective scoring tool for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. This instrument, detailed in his highly cited 2016 paper (59 citations), provides a standardized framework for assessing surgical quality, moving beyond subjective measures to enable reliable competency evaluation. By addressing the critical need for comprehensive skill acquisition among urological surgeons, Chan’s work directly impacts the optimization of surgical outcomes. His research bridges the gap between technical performance and patient safety, offering a validated pathway for training and credentialing in robotic surgery. Through this pioneering achievement, Dr. Chan has established himself as a key innovator in surgical education and quality assurance.
